Flutes 'delightful' Consider alternatives
To me, there is something intrinsi
cally beautiful and sacred about the
sound from a flute anyway; but when
20-plus flutists are playing simultaneously,
as they were last Thursday evening at
Kimball Recital Hall, the sound was
"inspirational."
The entire program was delightful,
professionally executed, and went off
without a hitch. To those who were
not lucky enough to attend, the instru
ments were as diversified as the selec
tions; from piccolos to bass flutes.
Thank you, UNL Flute Choir, for
an evening my wife and I won't soon
forget.

This letter is in regard to the Ross
Mackenzie column printed Dec. 2, which
stated that the objections to the proposed
MX missile system have no base.
First of all, it's easy to use statistics
and say that today's defense spending
is almost half of the percentage it was
during the Kennedy administration of
1962. But if you look at it from a dollar
standpoint you will see that there is no
comparison whatsoever. Second, the
people objecting to the missile system
are not non-experts but are senators on
the Arms Control Committee, Republi
can and Democrat alike. Many of them
have stated before that the dense-pack
system would be a waste of money that
would be better off going toward the
development of the trident submarines,
Bl-B's or the stealth aircraft. I believe
that if the administration really wants
to help our military situation it should
seriously consider these alternatives.

Statements clarified
On Dec. 4, 1 received a call from a Daily
Nebraskan reporter, who asked ire several
questions about my candidacy for mayor
of Lincoln. I thought he understood quite
well what I had said until I read his article
in the Daily Nebraskan on Dec. 6 I must
protest several inaccuracies.
First, the election in May will be pre
ceeded by a primary -election" tir'April.
The two top vote-getters will be on the
May ballot. I think it is important to
realize that if voters do not vote for their
candidate in April, they may not get a
chance to vote for him at all.

Good times and happy spirits are on the way with the coming
holidays and there's no better way to celebrate than with the
gift of music. Look for great records and cassettes distributed
by Warner Brothers on various labels; Geffen, Asylum, Elektra
and Swan Song. They're perfect for Christmas parties and end-of-semester
celebrations. So enjoy the happiness of the
holidays; show that you care by giving the gift of music.

Second, I never said that I . .
encourage industrial growth by trying to
make more lenient tax laws." I said some
thing like, "1 have heard that Lincoln's
tax laws are not as favorable to new indus
try as they are in other places, and I would
look at this situation." I may . support
new tax laws, but I need much more
information before I would try to change
them.
Third, I did not say that I would allow
new industry in places other than the
downtown area. The reporter asked me
what I would have done differently from
Mayor Helen Boosalis, and I said that I
would not have been so protective of
the downtown area. ,1 think events of the
past few years show that Lincoln contin
ually will be fighting developers who want
to build outside the downtown area.
However, I do support the Comprehensive
Plan. I think long-range planning is essen
tial to healthy growth of a city.
Finally, I did not say "individual free
doms could be increased. . .(by legalizing)
marijuana for personal in-home use."
The reporter asked me if I was a conserva
tive or liberal. Since neither of these labels
fit my political philosophy, I was attempt
ing to give examples of issues that would
show my beliefs. This was only meant as
an example of my basically libertarian
ideas, not things I desire for Lincoln. I
have no intention of legalizing gambling,
prostitution or drugs at this time. I think
that an elected official must be responsible
to the citizens of the city and enforce the
laws that they want. My personal opinions
of what should and should not be legal
are far less important than the will of the
people.

Colleges have a lot of
resources to improve teach
ing and macro-educational
planning that are not being
used. These resources can
be used so long as there is
honesty, seriousness and
commitment - in sum, en
thusiasm. It is difficult for foreign
students, Nigerians in parti
cular, to get into the
graduate program in
business adminstration be
cause of what 1 call "mixed
feelings" on the part of
both students and instruc
tors. I suspect that besides
the "mixed feelings," the
lack of mathematics apti
tude is the single most
important deterrant to suc
cess in graduate programs.
Both students and instruc
tors need to better articu
late the problem and the
solutions about the "math
problem."
It is unfair for a foreign
student to discredit an ac
credited institution of
higher education because
these institutions basically
want them. But students
are unsatisified with an
institution, they should seek
solution through communi
cation with university offi
citils UNL is not behind in its
responsibilities to the pro
gress of foreign students.
There are exceptions to
ev:rything. But I am not
dealing with the excep
tions; I am dealing with
the norm.
